Videotape from his camera shows a rainsoaked street in Ramallah as gunfire is heard. The cameraman runs from the van and screaming is heard as he is shown lying on the ground.

A second camerman, who was also riding in the van and suffered a less serious wound, told the Al-Jazeera network, "I wanted to stop the blood while screaming 'ambulance, ambulance, ambulance!'

"My soul was leaving my body with him. He was dying. ... I was calling ambulance, ambulance, and no one was coming for me!"
